FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to a semiconductor device and a method for manufacturing the same, particularly, relates to a high k gate dielectric/metal gate semiconductor device and a method for manufacturing the same, which is helpful for tuning work function of a p-type metal gate by way of introducing Al into the upper and bottom interfaces of the high k gate dielectrics and the bottom surface of the metal gate electrode.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

In the past four decades, the integrated circuit technology is continually developed in accordance with Moore's law, the critical dimension is scaling, the integrated level is continually improving, and the function becomes more and more powerful. Nowadays, the critical dimension of metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistors (MOSFET) comes into sub 50nm. However, with the scaling in critical dimension, the use of traditional gate stacks formed with silicon oxide gate dielectrics/polysilicon would result in an exponential abrupt rise in leakage current at the gate dielectrics, the depletion effect of polysilicon becomes increasingly grave, and the resistance of the polysilicon gate also increases accordingly. To overcome the abovementioned problems, the industry begins to use the novel gate stack structure, which is formed by high k gate dielectrics and metal gate electrode, to replace the traditional gate stack. With a same equivalent oxide thickness, the high k gate dielectrics have a greater physical thickness such that it is able to effectively reduce the leakage current at the gate dielectrics; besides, the metal gate electrode is able to fundamentally get rid of polysilicon depletion effect.

In order to obtain an appropriate threshold voltage, the work function of the metal gate material for pMOSFET is usually required to be in proximity of 5.2 eV. However, the single element metal material with such a high work function has very stable chemical properties, and thus is hard to etch and also is very expensive, for example, platinum, gold, etc. Therefore, it is not practical to tune the work function of a p-type device with such kind of metal materials.

With reference to FIG. 2, an enlarged diagram for the Al distribution is illustrated. Namely, in the preferred embodiments of the present invention, the element Al is distributed in the upper surface, bottom surface and the bottom surface of the gate electrode layer 104, and has formed Al—O electric dipoles.

FIG. 3 illustrates a semiconductor device obtained according to another embodiment of the present invention. As compared to the former embodiment, the first difference lies in that the gate dielectric layer 102 therein comprises a second dielectric layer 1004, a first dielectric layer 1006 and a second dielectric layer 1008. The second dielectric layer 1004 and the second dielectric layer 1008 are formed with the same material, which is preferably an oxide or nitride layer containing Al; for example, it may be AlO_(x) or AlN_(x) or the like at a thickness of 2-15 Å; the first dielectric layer 1006 is an Hf based high k gate dielectric layer.

FIGS. 5 to 9 illustrate in detail the cross-sectional views for the respective steps of the flowchart of manufacturing a semiconductor device according to the embodiments of the present invention. The respective steps according to the embodiments of the present invention are described below in detail along with reference to the drawings.

First, as shown in FIG. 5, a semiconductor substrate 1000 is provided. The substrate 1000 may comprise any semiconductor substrate material as appropriate, which may be, but not limited to, Si, Ge, GeSi, SOI (silicon on insulator), SiC, GaAs or any III/V-group compound semiconductors. Additionally, the substrate 1000 may optionally comprise an epitaxial layer, and may be under stress to enhance performance. In the embodiments of the present invention, a Si substrate doped with n-type impurity is preferably used.

Next, an isolation structure is formed on the semiconductor substrate 1000, which is preferably a Shallow Trench Isolation (STI). However, other isolation structures may be used in the embodiments of the present invention; since the isolation structure is not relevant to the gist of the present invention, thus it is not described any further here.

Optionally, an oxide layer (not shown in FIG. 5) may be formed on the semiconductor substrate 1000, which is capable of enhancing the performance of the interface. Specifically, in Nitrogen mixed with a trace of Oxygen, a rapid thermal oxidation is performed to the semiconductor substrate at a temperature of 600-800° C. for 30 to 120 seconds so as to form an oxide layer of 5-8 Å.

Then, a gate dielectric layer is formed on the oxide layer (a gate dielectric layer is formed on the semiconductor substrate, if no oxide layer has been formed). Specifically, a second dielectric layer 1004 is formed at first, and it is preferably an oxide or nitride layer containing Al, which may be, for example, AlO_(x) or AlN_(x) or the like; then, a first dielectric layer 1006 is formed on the second dielectric layer 1004; the first dielectric layer 1006 is an Hf based high k gate dielectric layer which, for example, may include any one or a combination of several of HfAlON, HfSiAlON, HfTaAlON, HfTiAlON, HfON, HfSiON, HfTaON, HfTiON; next, a second dielectric layer 1008 is formed on the first dielectric layer 1006, wherein the second dielectric layer 1008 and the second dielectric layer 1004 are formed with the same material. Then, annealing process is performed to the gate dielectric layer in Nitrogen mixed with a trace of Oxygen so as to form a high k gate dielectric layer containing Al; as shown in FIG. 4, the element Al is distributed at the upper surface and the bottom surface of the gate dielectric layer, specifically, at the bottom surface of the second dielectric layer 1004 and the upper surface of the second dielectric layer 1008.

The formation of a gate dielectric layer according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention is described in detail here below. First, an oxide layer is formed on a semiconductor substrate 1000; then, a gate dielectric layer is formed on the oxide layer, and it may be a stack layer comprising AlN_(x)/HfSiON/AlN_(x); wherein, AlN_(x) serves as a second dielectric layer and may be fabricated by means of Reactive Magnetron Sputtering process; the atmosphere for sputtering is a mixture of Argon and Nitrogen, the sputtering power is 200-500 W; and the N content in the AlN_(x) thin film may be tuned by way of tuning the flow volume of Nitrogen; an HfSiON high k thin film, which serves as a first dielectric layer, may be formed by means of Magnetron Sputtering process or Atomic Layer Deposition process. Next, a rapid thermal annealing process is performed to the AlN_(x)/HfSiON/AlN_(x) stack layer dielectrics in Nitrogen mixed with a trace of Oxygen; the oxygen content therein is preferably 1-10%, the temperature for annealing is preferably 700-1000° C., and the period of time may be 10-50 seconds, such that an HfSiAlON high k gate dielectric thin film that serves as a gate dielectric layer is formed. The element Al is distributed at the upper surface and the bottom surface of the gate dielectric layer, as shown in FIG. 4. Wherein, Al in the second dielectric layer 1004 combines with O in the oxide layer to form Al—O electric dipoles; and Al in the second dielectric layer 1008 combines with O in the surrounding atmosphere to form Al—O electric dipoles.

It is noteworthy that, if the second dielectric layer 1004 is made from AlN_(x), then it is preferred to form firstly an oxide layer on a semiconductor substrate, because this is more favorable for the later formation of electric dipoles. Of course, if no oxide layer is to be formed, Al—O electric dipoles also can be formed by means of performing an annealing process in Nitrogen mixed with Oxygen after the subsequent formation of stack gate dielectrics.

Next, as shown in FIG. 6, a gate electrode layer is continually formed on the gate dielectric layer. Specifically, a first metal layer 1010 and a second metal layer 1012 are firstly formed on the second dielectric layer 1008. Wherein, the first metal layer 1010 is preferably a metal nitride layer containing Al, which comprises any one or a combination of several of TaAlN, TiAlN, MoAlN, AlN_(x); and the second metal layer 1012 is preferably a metal nitride, which may comprise any one or a combination of several of TaN, TiN, MoN. Optionally, the second metal layer further may be Mo or W or their combination. Then, it is preferred in the embodiments of the present invention to further form a polysilicon (Poly) layer 1014 on the second metal layer.

In the preferred embodiments of the present invention, a stack gate electrode structure of AlN_(x)/TaN/Poly is formed; wherein AlN_(x) servers as 15 the first metal layer, and TaN serves as the second metal layer. The specific formation method is as below; AlN_(x)/TaN structures are formed by means of Reactive Magnetron Sputtering process in a sputtering atmosphere of mixture of Argon and Nitrogen at a sputtering power of 200-1000 W, under an operation pressure of (2-8)×10 ⁻³ Torr; the Al target is firstly sputtered, and the Ta target is then sputtered, such that AlN_(x)/TaN stack structures are deposited. At last, a polysilicon thin film 1014 of 1000-2000 Å is further deposited on the second metal layer 1012 by means of Low Pressure Chemical Vapor Deposition (LPCVD) process.

Then, patterned etching is performed to form a gate stack structure. Specifically, photoresist is spin-coated on the polysilicon layer 1014, then the photoresist is patterned according to the pattern of the gate stack to be formed, and then etching is performed with a mask served by the patterned photoresist, so as to form a gate stack structure as shown in FIG. 7.

Here below, source/drain regions of a device are made according to the conventional processes.

First, source/drain extension implant is performed to the overall semiconductor device structure. Since a pMOSFET is desired to be formed, thus B or In ions may be implanted. Optionally, Halo implant is further performed, for example, As or P may be implanted, such that a Halo implant region (not shown in the drawings) is formed in the channel region 1002 under the gate stack or in the substrate 1000 under the channel region 1002.

Then, as shown in FIG. 8, sidewall spacers around the gate stack are formed. Specifically, a Si₃N₄ layer at a thickness of 500-900 Å may be formed by means of Plasma-Enhanced Chemical Vapor Deposition (PECVD) process, and then dry etching process such as Reactive-Ion Etching (RIE) is applied to out-etch to form Si₃N₄ sidewall spacers.

As shown in FIG. 9, source/drain implant is performed, for example, B or In is implanted to form source/drain regions 1018.

Unlike the conventional technology, there is a need to perform annealing after the formation of source/drain regions in order to form Al—O electric dipoles, and the annealing may be performed at a temperature of 800-1200° C., and the annealing may last 3 to 10 seconds. Now, as shown in FIG. 4, a large amount of Al accumulate at the bottom surface of the first metal layer 1010, and Al combines with O atoms in the gate dielectric layer to form Al—O electric dipoles.

As shown in FIG. 9, according to the conventional device formation method, a metal silicide 1020 is formed at the source/drain regions 1018 and at the upper surface of the polysilicon layer 1014. The step of forming the metal silicide 1020 also may precede the foregoing step of annealing.

Finally, according to the conventional device formation method, an interlayer dielectric layer is formed on the overall semiconductor device structure; and a contact to the gate and the source/drain is formed in the interlayer dielectric layer.

In the embodiments of the present invention, Al is introduced into both the gate dielectric layer and the gate electrode, and after the performance of a source/drain activation annealing process, the element Al at the gate electrode and the interface of the high gate dielectric will form a valence with the element O in the gate dielectrics; due to their different electro-negativities, they form Al—O electric dipole at the interface, thereby causing change to the energy level at the interface and thus making the flat-band voltage of the metal gate shift forwards, which is shown that the Fermi energy level of the metal gate moves towards the valence band, and thus the gate work function increases, which is therefore favorable for tuning the work function of a metal gate of a p-type metal oxide semiconductor device. Meanwhile, the Al content at the interface may be increased by increasing the thickness of the oxide or nitride thin film containing Al at the interface, such that more electric dipoles will be formed so as to improve the capacity for tuning work function.

The experiment results show that, when the second dielectric layers (AlN_(x)) 1004, 1008 have a thickness of 2.5 Å, they are able to tune work function of pMOSFET higher by 0.52 eV; when the second dielectric layers (AlN_(x)) 1004, 1008 have a thickness of 5 Å, it is able to tune work function of pMOSFET higher by 0.81 eV; when the first metal layer (AlN_(x)) 1010 has a thickness of 5 Å, it is able to tune work function of pMOSFET higher by 0.36 eV; and when the first metal layer 1010 has a thickness of 12 Å, it is able to tune work function of pMOSFET higher by 0.52 eV.

Additionally, the use of high k gate dielectrics enables it to have a relatively greater physical thickness when maintaining a much smaller equivalent oxide thickness, which thus is favorable for decreasing the leakage current at the gate dielectrics; the use of metal gate enables to solve such problems as polysilicon depletion effect and grave increment of gate resistance which take place along with the scaling of critical dimension of the small-sized devices.
